Wiimmfi Portal

Form now on it is possible for everyone to login to the Wiimmfi portal and to register own consoles. All profiles related to the registered consoles can be managed. Dependent on rights, user can kick, ban or manage OPENHOST.

This topic is now the main discussion thread about the »Wiimmfi Portal«. The OPENHOST has it own thread. Please read the Wiki information pages before discussion.

I do have some questions regarding the console registration and the ban system. It is to my understanding that registered forum members will be banned from Wiiimmfi if they're banned from this forum. The reason I bring this up is because what is going to stop people (hackers included) from jumping on the Wiimmfi server without registering here first? Shouldn't you be making console registration a requirement instead of it being optional? For example the process could go something like this

-boot game
-connect to wiimmfi
-"unable to log in to wiimmfi - visit wiimmfi.de/error for more info - Error code:xxxxx" xxxxx=whatever error code you want to indicate on the error page "unregistered console - please go to wiimmfi.de/login to register"

On a side note, I'd like to request a feature be added to my account (perhaps this is more appropriate in a PM) and that feature is KICK. Ive been running into hackers a lot as of late (hopefully the new ban system can take care of most of them) but i'd like the ability to kick hackers.

I promise (if you assign that option to me) I will not abuse it because "with great power come great responsibility". I can also back up this statement because back when NWFC was a thing and codes were leaked, I didn't outright abuse them because I only used them when it was completely necessary. If you dont want to give me the KICK role, I'm completely okay with that and I understand why. I'm just trying to help make Wiimmfi a better place.

Register your consoles again
Because of a minimal change of the database structure you must register your console again. The OPENHOST settings are unchanged.

About "all profiles"
I think, it was easier to assign one ore some consoles instead of many profiles. A side effect is, that all profiles of the consoles are now visible. At the moment you have to live with it!

Leseratte already mentioned to allow free names for the consoles and profiles. Additionally we can add a "hide" status to hide all so marked profiles from the standard views.

The reason is because not all ISPs and routers allow one static IP for all clients.
As an example, here is my current pairing which will never work for this system:
PC is 130.108.223.190
Wii is 130.108.223.23

With a Passkey Pairing System, a Reserved Friend Code will be randomly generated. The user will be asked to add this Friend Code to their Friend Roster. Upon adding, pairing is complete, and the user is free to delete the Reserved Friend Code.

Why do you get multiple IPs from your provider? Normally, a customer gets one IP which is shared by all the devices in the local network.

Some ISPs do this so that individual devices on a network can be uniquely identified outside of the network. Most games actually recommend this, since it means that an IP ban doesn't destroy everyone on the same network. In any event, it's not something that I am in control of, so no amount of router tweaking will change this for me.

I must think about this before implementing.

Thinking completed now:

And as solution for the for the moment:
What's about entering Wii serial number and Wii friend code? I accept both as PM.

New features:
After login you see a new page "settings". here you can define your timezone and datetime format.
If loggend in, the MKW statistics wiimmfi.de/mkw will print the time stamps in the defined format.

Next, I want to change the session management to avoid the fast auto logout done by the php sub-system.

A question to you:
I plan, that every user can write a little comment for each assigned console and profile. The comment should make the identification easier. The question is now: What is ta good character limit for this? I think about 10-20 characters for each comment.

Another question:
I allow, that 2 or more people (e.g. brother + sister) own the same console and therefore the same profiles. Should the comment shared between the owners or should every owner has its own comment?
Same question for the hidden flag. But here is seems clearer to separate the settings.

I would prefer to allow the console owner(s) to assign profiles to a user account.
If that's not possible, the comment should be shared (a profile "User X, living room" is always a profile of User X), but the hide status not (each user can hide the profiles of the other user).

What if you have some CT distribs with different savegames? Or different testing profiles?

Question:
I just got a fresh Wii for 35€ (good condition, BootMii@boot2 capable ) and now I want to use it to play Mario Kart online. I am trying to transfer my save state from my previous Wii to the new one so that I don't have to change anything and can just switch between my two or three Wiis at any time then.
With Wiimmfi and the console registration aswell as console identifier abuse detections, is this even possible?

Would Wiimmfi automatically add my Wiis to my Wiimmfi portal account at first connection when I use my old save file (with my old friend code)? Or do I have to enter my new Wiis manually?
